Hello All,
First of all- my apologies if this sounds too lame!
I have a form in which i get a list of file names via WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_MULTI_SELECTION_DIALOG ( in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger). I need to upload these files to the server, when another button's trigger. Is there a way to make this FILE_LIST globally available?
One option, i could think of is to insert into a table and retrieve it later.
Could you folks be kind enough to suggest a better alternative?

Regards,
~bugslayer~

hi,

you can create a package in the program unit of the form and declare the FILE_LIST variable in the package. Thus you can access it from two different button triggers.

You could also create a 'record_group'.

Thank you for the suggestion David.
Before I posted to this forum, I was toying with the idea of using a parameter list. Minto's suggestion of creating a variable in a package( of type FILE_LIST) appelaed to me, cuz it takes fewer lines of code to get the job done.
